Enacted under the inherent right of self-governance and protected by international law, including UNDRIP and treaty law as supreme law of the land.

Preamble

In accordance with the Constitution of the Maya-We Nation and our recognized rights under international customary law, including the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP), this Act affirms the full legal, diplomatic, and operational immunities granted to Maya-We Nation diplomatic agents and officers. This Act ensures their lawful protection, recognition, and compliance within the framework of both international and domestic (U.S. and territorial) jurisdictions.

 

Article I – Legal Foundations

​

1. Customary International Law Compliance
   This Act derives legal authority from Customary International Law (CIL), the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations (1961), UNDRIP Articles 3, 4, 5, 19–21, and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) Article 1.

2. Supremacy of Treaty Law
   Pursuant to Article VI, Clause 2 of the United States Constitution, treaties—including the Vienna Convention and UNDRIP—are the supreme law of the land and must be respected by all federal and territorial entities, including Puerto Rico.

3. Recognition of Qualified Law Enforcement Officers
   Under 18 U.S.C. § 926B (LEOSA), all certified Maya-We Marshals are recognized as Qualified Law Enforcement Officers (QLEO), lawfully authorized to carry a defensive firearm in any jurisdiction in the United States and its territories, including Puerto Rico.

​

Article II – Diplomatic Immunity

​

1. Status and Protections
   All credentialed Maya-We diplomatic personnel, including the Chief, Marshals, and authorized agents, shall be protected under international diplomatic immunity as recognized in:

   • Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations (Articles 1, 29–31, 37)

   • UNDRIP Articles 3, 4, 36

   • Foreign Missions Act, 22 U.S.C. §§ 4301–4316

2. Inviolability of Diplomatic Persons and Documents
   Maya-We diplomatic agents shall not be detained, searched, or harassed while conducting official duties. All diplomatic documents, credentials, and communications are inviolable under international law.

3. “Do Not Detain” Directive
   All law enforcement, border, and governmental authorities are instructed to honor the “DO NOT DETAIN” directive printed on official Maya-We credentials and identification packages.

4. ​Kin-recognized Indigenous nations, including the Guainía Taíno Tribe, shall enjoy reciprocal diplomatic courtesy, mutual non-interference, and cultural immunity under this Act as part of the Maya-We Nation’s commitment to international Indigenous compliance.

​

Article III – Law Enforcement Cooperation

​

1. Mandated Respect by Host Jurisdictions
   As Puerto Rico’s prosecutorial power derives from U.S. Congress (see Puerto Rico v. Sanchez Valle, 579 U.S. 59 (2016)), it must comply with federal treaties and statutes. Failure to do so constitutes a violation of constitutional and international obligations.

2. Shared Jurisdiction
   Maya-We Marshals operating within U.S. jurisdictions are authorized to collaborate with local, state, or federal authorities on cross-jurisdictional matters, provided it is within the scope of peaceful diplomatic operations and consent is mutually given.

3. Interference Clause
   Any obstruction, unlawful detainment, or interference with an accredited Maya-We diplomatic agent will be considered a violation of international law and will trigger formal complaint proceedings to the appropriate international oversight bodies.

​

Article IV – Enforcement and Discipline

​

1. Violation of Diplomatic Protocols by Officers
   Any Maya-We officer or Marshal found guilty of violating internal or host-nation laws shall be subject to disciplinary review by the Council of Wisdom and, if necessary, face cooperative prosecution under host-nation law in accordance with extradition and mutual aid agreements.

2. Penalties for Unlawful Conduct
   Any sworn officer who abuses their authority or breaches diplomatic duty may face penalties of dismissal, revocation of status, and criminal referral. If convicted, punishment shall be no less than 5 years and no more than 18 years, with enforcement guided by host-nation judicial cooperation.

​

Article V – Cultural Integration and Officer Standards

​

1. Iron Feather Code Compliance
   All diplomatic agents and officers must embody the Iron Feather Accord, upholding the dual principles of Peace and Defense—“Kaokao, Yucahú, Guakia'to yukayeke” (With strength and spirit, we are blessed).

2. Training Standards
   Maya-We Marshals shall complete internal certification and training based on:

   • International peacekeeping standards (UN Peacekeeper Doctrine)

   • U.S. Federal Law Enforcement standards (QLEO requirements)

   • Culturally aligned Taíno legal ethics and ceremonial oath-taking.
